Lebanon Humanitarian Response - AKDN
excerpt...
11. UNHCR and the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) are setting up warehouses and offices in four locations – Damascus, Aleppo, Tartus, and Homs, which all UN system agencies can access. Current NFI stocks include plastic sheeting, jerry cans, kitchen sets, kerosene stoves mattresses and blankets, sheets and pillows, underwear for adults and children, diapers and other personal hygiene products; amounts and locations will be mapped as part of the mechanism outlined below.
12. UNHCR and AKDN have offered to set up a joint coordination mechanism for targeted distribution of non-food items (NFIs) to avoid duplication. This distribution would entail no additional trucking or warehousing cost to other partners. The stocks could also be released to SARC, and other partners involved in distribution of NFIs to host families. The proposed system would allow agencies to request by email and receive a range of NFIs within 24 hours, from one supply point.

Working around-the-clock
Working around-the-clock
WFP and UNHCR, along with volunteers from the Aga Khan Foundation and the Syrian Red Crescent Society, are working around-the-clock at the main border crossings, handing out small but important food aid packages to the thousands of Lebanese to help them through their first days back in Lebanon, after weeks spent in public buildings in Syria.
In support of this initiative, and ahead of the anticipated Lebanese return, WFP had dispatched eight tons of high-energy biscuits and six tons of bread to the main border points between the two countries.
In addition, 12 tons of canned meat were also sent for distribution to the Lebanese returnees.
Just the beginning...
